Three of Metro Council candidate Tanaka Vercher’s yard signs were tagged with graffiti recently, prompting her to plan to notify the Metro Police Department and the Davidson County Election Commission.

The vandalized signs, located off Piccadilly Row in the Antioch-area’s District 28, are scribbled with undecipherable script and what appears to be a peace symbol. Vercher said she’s been unable to contact the three different homeowners to alert them of their damaged signs.

“It’s really unfortunate,” Vercher said. “I take pride in being a candidate about staying focused on the issues of the Antioch area and moving that area forward. It’s unfortunate that I have to take time out to be concerned about vandalism of some signs.”
